Overview
Research Interests
Research Summary
My primary research interest for the last 30 years has been in the area of diabetes and carbohydrate metabolism in the elderly. I have made a number of significant contributions to our understanding of the pathogenesis of glucose intolerance in the elderly as well as the pathogenesis and treatment of diabetes in older individuals. I have established an international reputation in both these areas, particularly in the area of diabetes in the elderly.
